Understand the assessment, planning, healing, and restoration stages involved in implant treatment.
Dr. Daniel Carter
Restorative Dentist
A missing tooth can affect chewing, speech, and confidence. Dental implants are one option for replacing missing teeth. An implant is placed in the jawbone and can support a crown, bridge, or denture once the area has healed.
The process begins with an examination of your teeth, gums, bite, and general health. Imaging may be recommended to assess bone and plan the implant position. Factors such as gum health, bone volume, smoking, and certain medical conditions can influence suitability. Treatment is usually completed in stages, with a healing period before the final restoration is attached.
Good home care and regular professional reviews are important for the long-term health of an implant. Brush carefully around the restoration and clean between teeth using tools recommended by your dental team. Implants are not the only way to replace missing teeth.
Bridges and removable dentures may also be suitable depending on your needs. A consultation can help compare options, timelines, maintenance, and costs before you decide.
